静寂を纏った舞台
フリギアの中で踊る
今宵ふたり演じるのは
「美しい恋の物語(ストーリー)」
聖者の仮面を剥ぎ
遊戯(ゆうげ)まで呼び出だす
夜を舞う蝋色の糸で
掻き立ててくれ
誘いの道化師にさあ口づけて
揺り起こした熱を抱いて
絆された愛(かな)しみが
邪魔するなら
せめて今は忘却の中で
君に焦がれて

瞬きが終える頃には
真実だけを謳って
規則的な夢の中で何一つも騙れずに
聖者は背徳に指差し笑うだけ
空ろに還る幕間を
彷徨いながら
溺れてく道化師にさあ口づけて
嘘でも構わない愛して
残された激情も飲み込むなら
泡になる息も出来ぬまま
君を忘れていく

誘いの道化師にさあ口づけて
揺り起こした熱を抱いて
絆された愛(かな)しみが
邪魔するなら
せめて今は忘却の中で
壊れてく道化師にさあ口づけて
途切れゆく調べを撫でて
幸福(しあわせ)の
終曲(しゅうえん)を
独奏(かな)でながら
吹き上げる風音の中で
愛に哭(な)いたjester
愛に哭(な)いたjester

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of VALSHE's song "jester" depict a magnificent two-person show being performed in the midst of silence, with the two individuals dancing on the stage in their gear, presenting the story of a beautiful love. One of the performers takes off their mask of a saint while the other invites the audience to play with them, moving them with the dance of the night's dark thread. The lyrics portray an invitation to a masquerade, where the clown invites you to kiss them and embrace the flames of passion.

As the performance comes to an end, the saint, pointing to the page of immorality, laughs with ease, and the clown drowns in emptiness while wandering through the intervals. The clown again invites the listener to kiss them and profess love, even if it is a lie, as the intense emotions will eventually disappear into nothingness, and the clown will forget about their love.

The lyrics conclude with the clown's request to kiss them once again, soothing the dying notes, and allowing the wind to carry their last cry of love. Overall, the lyrics convey a story of passion, love, and heartbreak, depicting different emotions that come with love and the inevitable loss that follows it.
